Person:Elisha Fuller (2)

Elisha Fuller fought in the Revolutionary War and served time as a fifer. For his government service he was entitled to some land, which he refused, saying that the government needed it more than he did! He must have prospered in life, since he gave a farm to each of his six sons.

From Jacobus^[2] "He kept a store at Ludlow Centre for more than 50 years. He served in Capt. Nathan Rowley's Company of Col. Robinson's Hampshire County (Mass.) Regiment at Ticonderoga in 1776 and 1777. Represented Ludlow in the General Court 1808. He was a man of deep religious convictions, generous, hospitable and full of humor."
